I worked on the passenger side last night some too. The ps new rocker is awful. I kept my old one so I guess Im going to repair it. it fits like it supposed to.

[Mjminino]

Did you have any trouble lining up the door gap to the rockers? I am having a tough time. Is it possible to look at my build thread and let me know what you think?

[NevEno]

My drivers side rocker fit ok with some modifications but in my opinion turned out awesome, it had a "triplus" sticker on it but the passengers had "counter part" sticker and let me tell you if you get one of these good luck.. I wasn't sure at first if I had messed up doing the floor, lower cowling or the apillar. I put my original one back on it fit perfectly. the counter part rocker I had to gap it out at the top/back it was twisted the lip was too short on the top I would have had to slice it all over to make it fit and stitch it back together..


Mjminino, it also looked like crap lined up with the door.. I've kinda looked at ur build but I'll have to check it out again.. It's hard to tell from pic's. I can just tell you what worked for me..

Loving this build in just the three pages you have so far. I just had to pass on a set of transport wheels. Didnt have the cash, and wasnt sure of the fit anyhow. Now seeing them, Ill have my eyes open for the next set for sure!!!!

Are you running wheel spacers at all?
Are you running stock track width?
Does the front wheel rub as of the ride height you have in the pics?

I haven’t put my bed on yet but I know it will hit the inside of the fenders just off measuring I think I’m going to have to use a 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" spacer on the rear. I’ll put the bed on this weekend.. once the rain quits

Thanks 4mulaSvaliant!!! above is off another thread I’ve posted on.. Mine is still in the build stage of course but I have taken some measurements with my bed on.. the front should be fine but I will run a 1 1/4" spacer on the rear.. I put a 1 1/2 space on there and the tires are too close to the fenders. About a finger.. My rear axle is out of a 1971 c10 witch is 2" wider than the 64 axle. The front is sitting a little high right now, it should go down a little once the truck is full assembled and the new springs are broke in. clearance seems ok

not sure the measurements that why I made a tool. I wanted a 28" tall tire so I used 255/30ZR22. The center bore on these wheels are smaller than your stock hubs.. I think someone on here had the center bore opened up to make it work with the drums

Awesome thanks!! I thought about building some side brackets out of aluminum that use the fan holes and the core support holes!! Instead of modifying my original ones.

Top banana takes forrrrrever to ship and their customer service is like non existence,at least to get ahold of them.

Thanks Bomp! You guys know of any other companies that sell a rear painted/primed bumper? LMC use too have them but it's not on the site anymore. I have a nice chrome one but removing the chrome would be a nightmare.. I read a lot about top banana being hard to get a hold of. I may try to call them tomorrow and see what happens.

I've never had to call Top Banana but I got all my sheet metal from them and it shipped pretty quick. All decent quality stuff (for repops).

Yeah I still need to dick around with my rockers. dreading it, would rather pay someone who knows what they are doing. it is literally the only thing stopping my build from moving on.

[ol_skool_chevy]

Very nice...

Don't know if I missed it, but what product did you use as undercoating?

Thanks! I used linex. They did the bed on my 09 silverado in color match and my rancher racks an I've been really happy with'em. They cut me a deal..

Thank you. The build has been fun but fixing somebody else's cover up's suk. I wouldn't be surprised if my grandpa's truck is on here. The last place I seen it was in Perris, Ca.

Thank you. I'm real happy with the outcome.

[ol_skool_chevy]

What undercoating did you use?

[NevEno]

Line-X

[Mjminino]
